Learning More About the Industry
If you want to open a western clothing retail business be sure to talk to somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
But, a person who owns a western clothing retail business on the other side of the country can be a great learning resource for you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Don't Forget About Franchising As an Option
Recognize that your chances of becoming a successful entrepreneur are higher when you franchise instead of doing it all on your own.
Before starting a western clothing retail business, you would be wise to investigate whether buying a franchise could be the right move for you.
